HENRY LoNGFELLow, of Springfield,
Miss.,a colored man aged so years, for
several years past has complained of a
pain in the region or the stomach. The
pain, while not constant was at times ex-
cruciatlng to degree almost past endur-
ance. 1t occasioned loss of appetite,
and consequently loss of flesh to such
an extent Shat he was reduced almost to
skeleton. He has spent hundreds of
dollars in seeking relief, but all in vain.
December Sd he was taken so severely
with pain just below the ribs of the
right side that he was completely pros
iting incessant. The family physician was
hurriedly summoned, and upon making
an examination found the abdomen very
much swollen, and just at the seat of
the pain was discovered a tumor about
the size of hens egg. The doctor de-
cided to remove the supposed tumor and
selecting the keenest scalpel in his case
he made an incision through the skin
just below the ribs. Following up the
walls of the stomach the doctor was as
tonished to find firmly fixed in the pyior-
ic orifice between its valves, a frog; its
head having passed into the intestines,
while its legs and body still remained in
the stomach. Nothing now was left to
be done but to remove the reptile, which
was quickly done, and.the openingEin the
stomach was closed with catgut ligatures,
while the incision in the abdominal wall
was brought together with silver sutures.
The pain then disappeared and the vom-
iting ceased.

The community of Climber Ridge"
small hamlet west of Pawpaw, w. v, is
very much excited over the killing of
Willard White, of Wheeling, by man
named Miller. 1t seems that Miller, who
ID a desperate character, has been living
with married woman named Wallace,
who is separated from her husband. The
fact that Miller has been living with the
woman has created a scandal in the town,
and feeling ran so high that the people
determined to tar and feather them. On
Saturday night party of men headed by
Wallace the woman's husband started for
the house with this intention. White was
pursuaded to join the mob and was the
first one to enter the building. Miller
was armed with shotgun which was dis
charged as the crowd pressed in. The
charge struck White in the head killing
him instantly. The crowd fled panic
stricken allowing Miller to escape, and he
is still at large. White was in the town to
attend his mothers. funeral

The Beginning Of the End.

The beginning Of disease is a slight debility or
disorder Of some of the vital organs, the ston-
ach, the liver or the bowels usually. There are
dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is troublesome. the
SKIN grows tawney and unhealthy looking, there
are pains in the right side or through the right
shoulder blade. The climax is often utter pros
tration of the physical energies perhaps fatal
issue. But if the difficulty is met in time with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is always eff
at an early stage there will be no reason to ap-
prehend those Injurious subsequent effects upon
the system often entailed by entirely cured dis
eases. Far better is it, also, to employ this safe
remedial agent in fever and ague. and other
malara complaints, than quinine and other po-
tent drugs which, even when they do prove Ct
fectuai for time ruin the stomach and impair
the general health.
